Talk:Gauntlet

Clifthanger

Got bored and was listening to Gateworld podcasts about the cancelation... SGU is already in post production so Season 2 won't end.... this last episode will end on a clifthanger and we will never know what will happen D:

They might make a TV movie to end it, like the did with SG1 in Ark of Truth... It'd have to be a pretty well compacted film though - they might even have to do it over two or three (Stargate: The Destiny Trilogy, or Stargate: The Final Trilogy) :) Sman789 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 14:45, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

SG-1 had Atlantis so the plot wouldn't have completely died even without the AoT and Continuum, but I hope that they come to their senses about SGU and make a Atlantis movie instead, or better yet, renew Atlantis.(So unlikely that it's not going to happen, but if someone invents a way to jump to different realities, I can find one where SGA didn't die. That's more likely than the show being renewed.) Jauh0 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 23:25, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

What if they decide to refilm the last episode? They still have enough time to film that last episode again. They have like 6 months to film and edit the episode. That should be plenty of time to refilm that last episode and end the series. The way I see this series ending, is they either get back to Earth, they all blow up, or they learn to ascend and then get back to Earth. Or it will be something like Lost where they decide to stay on Destiny for the rest of their lives. There should also be an episode where the stones get damaged or destroyed.

There's a lot of "shoulds" in SGU, but I don't see a good way to end the series with the time they have left. I can only hope that things will be wrapped up later. Making them get home in just 1 ep is too sudden. On the bright side, this being effectively the end of Stargate(Way to go TPTB. Got any more good ideas? Cuz this series certainly wasn't one), there will finally be a "complete" SG collection. Jauh0 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 23:09, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

They probably won't be re-filming the last episode to wrap things up. MGM is in very dire financial straits at the moment and I doubt they would allocate funds to re-film an episode of a show that was just cancelled because of poor ratings. --D Toccs ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 03:26, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Hopefully its something like Unending or Enemy at the Gate where there's no cliffhanger but the show's just not wrapped up.--WarGrowlmon18 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 16:56, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think they will have an ultimate end. They will probably leave the ending of the specific story done with but the overall SGU Story will be open. And who knows. MAybe after awhile they'll decide to start the show back up in a year or 2.

The ratings are far too low for a dvd film to wrap up the series but I wouldnt put the possibility of a concluding book trilogy past them. 83.104.138.141 17:28, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

I think it may end the story for good and the return to Earth. Stargate Universe doesn't exactly have one of those stories that can go on forever. In a preview for the next episode, it's been confirmed that a black hole is heading towards Novus. Well that black hole solves all of their problems. All they need to do is fly Destiny close to the black hole and dial Earth. The black hole will provide all the energy needed to dial Earth. That's how the Ori can dial the Milky Way using the Supergate. That's also how Earth was able to block the Supergate by dialing the Pegasus galaxy and maintaining the wormhole open indefinitely. So if Destiny does the same thing and flies close enough to a black hole, they should easily be able to dial Earth without time traveling or anything like that. Perhaps that's why this last episode is called Gauntlet. The black hole is a "Gauntlet" of energy. 98.114.236.245 05:00, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Not that easy I think, they made this episode long before they found out the show was cancelled. Plus they've said this season ends on a cliffhanger. Supertrinko ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 06:37, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

No, I think what Gauntlet means is... Now that we know the drones can track Destiny by following active wormholes... and probably know that they use stars to recharge as well... all the drones would have to do is go to every star in Destiny's path before they get there, making them unable to recharge. Destiny wouldn't be able to risk opening the Stargate because the drones would go right to them. Destiny would be without power and supplies if this happened, right? So, I think that Gauntlet means they'll have to take a stand and fight their way through a "Gauntlet" of drones and command ships. This would also explain the meaning behind the "Blockade" from the previous episode. I got this idea from the short episode summaries that Syfy and Space have posted. Too bad this will be the end of Stargate for at least a couple years... and it goes out on a "to be continued" too... I wish they could at least make their Universe movie, then Stargate: Revolution, then Stargate: Extinction, then finally the movie that Brad Wright wanted to make combining all 3 series to give the franchise a REAL ending... I guess now we're not going to know for a long time. Byakuya Truelight ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 01:49, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

It's all because people whine about every little thing. SGU is a perfectly good replacement for the dull series Stargate was turning into. Going through the gate over and over again, that's boring. There is so much more action in this....now we lost stargate sg-1, stargate atlantis, AND stargate universe.

Yep, this will most likely be a cliff hanger ending. I just don't see how the series can suddenly end anymore based on the plot summaries provided. Unless they try dialing a star again. Or...Someone comes to the rescue of Destiny. There's no way Destiny can take on a full scale drone invasion again. But the plot summary says they have to take a stand. They can't do it alone. Someone or something might help them. Perhaps those Obelisk alens return. Obviously we know now that the Blueberry aliens aren't capable of defeating the drones. It would take an alien race much more advanced to defeat the drones. A more outlandish theory would be Earth figured out a way to reach Destiny with ships and save the crew using Asgard weapons against the drones. Or... a 3rd possibility is that Destiny uses a black hole's power to dial Earth. They've done that many times before in SG-1. Regardless, I can't wait to see how the series end. Whether it will be a cliff hanger or a SGA-style ending General Heed ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 04:14, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

I doubt Rush would ever allow using black hole, because it would leave Destiny there, sentencing the ship to doom.—Unsigned comment by TakeruDavis (talk • contribs).

Or it'd be something like Twin Destinies where Rush and a few other people volunteer to stay behind. Once everyone else is through the gate, they can fly the ship to safety. And after the episode epilouge, there's a perfectly good black hole for them to use. General Heed ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 23:43, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

You know what would shock me more than anything... is if after Stargate Universe ends... after a couple of years, MGM decides to reboot the franchise by going to Dean Devlin for his sequel ideas to the original Stargate movie starring Kurt Russell and James Spader. Now that would be... mind-boggling. Lol. Byakuya Truelight ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 13:39, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

You know. I loved the original movie. It was a classic. But if they went to Devlin's proposed storyline instead of SG-1/SGA/SGU...that would be like a final kill shot. After everything that's happenned to the fans (series cancellations, game failures, etc.)...I honestly don't think I would be able to watch that. 01:46, May 2, 2011 (UTC)Phoenix304 ^{(talk) (Contribs)}

And if not that, at least we still have novels to continue each series' story. If Stargate: Extinction never gets made, then Stargate Atlantis: Legacy takes its place... Maybe SG-1 and Universe will get similar novel continuations, so that the stories can still continue. Normally, I consider everything but TV and movies to be non-canon, but if that all ends then I'd be willing to continue a novel continuation canon. Like the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight and Angel: After the Fall comics written by Joss Whedon. Even Star Trek has done this, after the 2009 movie came out. The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager have all been continued with novels even after the movie rebooted the timeline, so that fans can read what happens to their beloved characters next. Stargate Atlantis: Legacy still has 4 more novels on the way, so the story isn't over even if there's no TV shows or movies. Let's just hope for the best! :) Byakuya Truelight ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 17:48, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
